After the influx of new information from the Games Domain preview, I've gone and updated the FAQ once again, adding a few new questions and updating some old answers with newly available information. Seventy-three questions (and answers) and counting...
Kudos to Mark Levin (and others) who pointed out the new Oni and Halo preview at Games Domain. The dual preview is a fantastic one, going into great depth on both games. New facts are revealed in both, such at this interesting tidbit:
There have been a lot of questions lately about Halo's system requirements. For the most part, these questions have run along the lines of can my system run Halo? Things are beginning to turn ugly, with people sick of answering the same question over and over again.
In an effort forestall hostilities, and give the Database a reason to exist, I've run my Nytol addled brain through the ringer and produced a new rant that aims to answer some questions and give some advice:
This week's poll is up and accepting votes: based on the virtual confirmation that Halo will be coming to a Playstation 2 near you, do you think console ports will have a positive or negative impact on the Halo community? Or do you not care, as long as you get your hands on Halo on time and as promised? The poll will be open all week, so take your getting those votes in.

I saw this and couldn't resist: halo.bungie.org has moved into the propaganda business with their Halo SETI promotion. I love their slogan... it's so perfect for the theme and topic. :)

On the topic, I'm wondering aloud if any readers out there would be interested in submitting their articles to the engine. If you're at all keen on the idea, leave a post or fire off an email.
An interesting post at Marathon's Story about blam.com, a domain name that received a lot of attention when Halo was still codenamed blam . While obviously not a Halo site, it turns out it does have connections with Bungie after all...
